I did flash my BIOS just a month or two ago, in order to get Win2k to
install. But I'm having the same sort of problem in trying to install
Redmond Linux (a Caldera offshoot). It is not seeing my hard drive. The
install program works fine ( choosing language, mouse, keyboard, video
card) up to the point of choosing where to put Linux. It is not only not
seeing the partitions (and free space), but not even seeing the drive at
all! I have an A7V with the Promise ATA-100 Controller, and a Maxtor
ATA-66 hard drive.

As I said before, W2k crashed on install, until I: A.> Flashed the BIOS,
and B.> loaded downloaded drivers during the checking hardware phase.
But I think Windows DID see the hard drive, as Win98 loaded fine. It was
the CD that wasn't being recognized by W2k, and it would hang when it
attempted to go from the DOS-Mode to the graphical install. After I did
the two steps above, it loaded fine. But the Linux install doesn't give
me the option of loading the drivers...

Any Ideas???
